LEAP PowerPoint Presentation


In an effort to help students excel and to help prepare fourth graders for the L.E.A.P (Louisiana Educational Assessment Program) Test, Lake Harbor Middle has developed its own program for our fourth graders that encourages higher order thinking, familiarizes students with information pertinent to testing, and gives students that little extra "edge."


In the fall, students whose IOWA test scores fall within the 4th, 5th, and 6th stanines are afforded the opportunity to participate in special after school classes for each of the curricular areas: math, writing, social studies, science, technology, and informational resources. This Session I lasts for six weeks: one day a week for one and a half hours. In the spring, there are two concurrent Session II classes offered: one for the 4th-6th stanine group and one for the 7th-9th stanine group.

All LEAP Enrichment classes are designed to be both fun and challenging in a way that helps prepare our children to make their next "leap" toward a better understanding of their curriculum. Since each class is limited to no more than twelve students, teachers can spend plenty of time with each student to give them "that little extra" attention and direction to help them to be successful.

LEAP Acceleration Program


In order to help challenge student functioning in the upper percentiles (80% and above), we have designed a program that will expose these children to additional lessons focusing on a variety of critical thinking and problem solving skills. Once a week from 2:00 until 3:00 the fourth grade teachers will be rotating to each classroom over the course of seven weeks. There will be a seven week session in the first semesterl and another in second semester. Each teacher will focus on one specific area. By the time the seven weeks is over, each teacher will have been to each classroom teaching her lesson. This exposes the children, not only to a variety of higher order thinking lessons, but also give them the opportunity to interact with all of our fourth grade teachers.


There are several online LEAP Practice learning tools that students can use at home or school to help strengthen their skills. These tools are great to use to help reinforce skills taught at school. Questions are often worded and formatted in a similar way to LEAP Test questions, so students can become familiar and comfortable with the test. The online programs are kid friendly, graphically fun, and are enjoyable for children to use. Look below for the links.
